Song Li raised an eyebrow and said, "He’s my cousin, but honestly, I always side with ability over family. Whoever has the skills can win the beauty in the end."
Jin Jing chuckled gleefully, "ng Er, co on, you’re supposed to be the master of flirting in a sea of won, and yet you can’t even land a single girl? Tsk tsk tsk."
ng Yan sneered, "Jin Jing, don’t gloat. If you’re so capable, why don’t you go and pull a Lu Qing? Marry Xu Jiaojiao, get her pregnant with so buns, huh? You’re already completely dominated, and I haven’t even laughed at you yet."
After that jab, Jin Jing remained silent.
As a playboy, being utterly tied down by Jiaojiao felt like losing all his face. Now being mocked, truly, this was a tactical blunder on his part!
"Song San, Song San, you’ve been off stargazing and moon-watching with Xiao Xiao. Are you thinking about tying the knot or what?"
Song Li’s face showed a fleeting expression of oddness, but he quickly masked it. "It’s still early, not that fast."
Jin Jing couldn’t help but exclaim, "See? When you think about it, our Brother Lu is clearly the real winner in life. Married first, fell in love later, now even has a baby on the way. Plus, he and his wife are the perfect match. What a life! I’m so jealous I could cry."
Lu Qing raised his glass proudly and grinned, "What can I say? Luck’s on my side."
The crowd: "Goodness! Complints go straight to your tail, and now it’s practically wagging up to the sky!"
"Hey, isn’t that your wife? Look over there—she’s walking toward the horse. She’s not planning to ride it, is she?"
Lu Qing’s expression darkened in an instant. Before anyone had ti to react, he was already at the door, moving like a gust of wind—a literal lightning bolt!
Yan Lv laughed mischievously, "Oh, this’ll be fun to watch."
Qin Miaomiao’s eyes lit up as she gazed at the sleek, glossy-coated horse. She quickly walked over to it, which was currently being held by Mr. Jiu.
Thick-skinned, she asked:
"Um, Ninth Uncle, can I try riding it for a bit?"
Ninth Uncle glanced at her and rcilessly refused, "No."
"Ninth Uncle, don’t be so stingy. Just let give it a shot."
"It’s dangerous."
"It’ll just be a leisurely ride, not fast. I’ve ridden horses before, and my skills are honestly quite good."
Mr. Jiu tossed her two words: "Ha, ha."
Ha, ha—what’s that supposed to an?
"Don’t even think about it! Do you care about your life or not?"
Lu Qing stord up to her side like a hurricane, his expression terrifyingly grim.
Qin Miaomiao took one look at his face and knew imdiately there was no chance.
"I just wanted to have a little fun," she mumbled.
Lu Qing placed his broad hand on her head and said, "Stop fooling around. Stay put. Once the baby is born, you can play however you like."
Qin Miaomiao was tempted by the horse to the point that her heart itched. Fine, it really was dangerous, but her heart was simply clawing at her insides!
Mr. Jiu shot him a glance and asked indifferently:
"How good are your riding skills?"
Lu Qing replied confidently, "Ninth Uncle, are you challenging ?"
"Want to try? Horse riding and archery?"
"Sure, I’d love to."
"Bet on it?"
"Okay."
"What’s the wager? A billion?"
Lu Qing instantly realized Mr. Jiu’s intention. Having lost a billion to him previously, he was itching to win it back. Would Lu Qing let him succeed? No way!
He grinned widely and said, "Why bet sothing so big? Let’s wager a plate of crawfish. I’ll cook it myself."
Mr. Jiu heard this and instantly grasped Lu Qing’s cunning plan. Clearly, it was aid at provoking Qin Miaomiao.
"Add a plate of peanuts, a bottle of ten-year Maotai, and a simple stir-fried greens dish. How about that?"
"Great, it’s settled then."
Qin Miaomiao: ...
Hey hey hey, you two—don’t you have any sha? You obviously know I can’t eat crawfish or drink alcohol. You’re clearly deliberately provoking !
The two of them had now evolved from their initial sparring mode into a full-blown collaboration, united against a common enemy.
And unfortunately for her, she was the enemy!
